Read MoreWarts are a common skin condition caused by a viral infection, and while they’re typically harmless, they can be bothersome, painful, or cosmetically concerning. At InMotion Health, we offer safe, convenient treatment options for warts; whether it’s a plantar wart on the sole of your foot or a cluster of flat warts on your hands or face, our providers are here to help you find relief discreetly and comfortably.
What Are Warts?
Warts are small, rough skin growths caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). They are non-cancerous and vary in appearance depending on their type and location. Warts are most commonly found on the hands, feet, face, or genitals, and they may appear as single bumps or in clusters. While not usually dangerous, they can be painful and may spread to other parts of the body or other people.
How Are Warts Treated?
At InMotion Health, treatment for warts begins with a virtual or in-home consultation. During your visit, our provider will evaluate the size, type, location, and duration of the wart. Based on this assessment, we may recommend topical treatments like salicylic acid or prescription-strength creams. For larger or persistent warts, we may refer you to specialists for advanced procedures such as cryotherapy, which involves freezing the wart with liquid nitrogen. To make your care seamless, we provide tailored treatment plans so you can begin treatment without delay. If the wart is painful, infected, or causing cosmetic distress, prompt treatment can make a meaningful difference.
Symptoms of Warts
Warts can vary depending on the type, but common symptoms include:
- Small, grainy skin growths
- Fleshy, rough, or raised texture
- Black pinpoint dots (small clotted blood vessels)
- Pain or tenderness (especially plantar warts on the soles)
- Clusters of flat or smooth bumps on the face, neck, or legs
Warts may grow slowly over time and are usually painless unless located on sensitive or high-friction areas.
What Causes Warts?
Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which enters the skin through tiny cuts or breaks. They are spread through direct contact with a wart or a contaminated surface. You may be more likely to develop warts if you have:
- A weakened immune system
- Damaged or broken skin
- Exposure to communal showers, locker rooms, or pools
- A habit of nail-biting or skin-picking
Because the virus thrives in warm, moist environments, preventive care is essential to avoid recurrence.
Why Is Wart Treatment Important?
Although many warts resolve on their own, timely care can relieve pain and discomfort, prevent the spread of the virus to other parts of your body or to others, and minimize cosmetic concerns. Treating warts early also reduces the risk of infection from broken skin and prevents the lesion from persisting long-term, which can make it harder to treat effectively.
How Should I Support My Recovery From Warts?
To support your recovery from warts, keep the affected area clean and dry, avoid picking or scratching the wart, and wash your hands after touching the area. When in public or communal areas, wear flip-flops in showers and avoid sharing personal items like towels or razors to reduce the risk of transmission or reinfection. Our providers will monitor your progress and offer additional guidance as needed to help you achieve the best possible results.

When in Doubt
If you or someone else is experiencing severe or life-threatening symptoms and you’re unsure whether it’s an emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest Emergency Room. It’s always safer to seek immediate care rather than delay treatment.
